Reddit mentions: The best school chalk

thanks! they are VersaChalk chalkboard markers from amazon. I used a few coats of chalkboard paint on thin plywood, do not recommend it. it took several coats of the markers to get an even coat and if I messed up, it's very near impossible to clean it off without re painting the chalkboard. I'm sure they write beautifully on real chalkboards 😊

I'd never heard of this till you brought it up, but it's amazing that there's a chalk that mathematicians are mourning the demise of.

Surprisingly, it's available on Amazon, but at a truly ridiculous price.

I think this is the original Hagoromo Fulltouch White Chalk 72pcs by Hagoromo Bungu https://www.amazon.in/dp/B007R76ND2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PhkZCb5G7E7Y7

It's for ₹17,241/-!!!!!

But there's also this one, for a less ridiculous price of ₹1,674 for a pack of 12

HAGOROMO Fulltouch Color Chalk 1 Box, Non-Toxic, Dustless [12 Pcs/10Color Mix] https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01HDNVHYE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9kkZCbVNTM5AH

and in a pack of 72, for ₹6,166/-

Hagoromo Fulltouch 5-Color Mix Chalk 1Box 72pcs Red Yellow Blue Orange Yellow Green https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01HDNVDOI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AmkZCb4KMG8GH


I'm guessing the first is a legacy pack from the original manufacturer, and the latter two are from the company that took over the brand. And the box has print in Hangul, as opposed to the Kanji on the original, so I'm guessing this is a Korean manufacturer, not Japanese.

• I use tons of these pens for everything - I've been using them since forever
  
  
• This is the pen I would want to buy if I ever make it to 30 - this is just a dream of mine, not exactly a suggestion
  
  
• This is my current favorite because it was gifted for my birthday - there's even my review on the website
  
  
• These are for the engineer in me
  
  
• This is similar to what I use to create my own stylized autographs/signatures - maybe Gilderoy Lockhart would like some tips... O_O
  
  Edit: I've been using the Hero pens from Bullet # 1 above since I learned to write. It's a thing with old people, how they approve of ink/fountain pens and express disdain for ballpoint/rollerball pens. Dear Grampa taught me to use ink pens, and I still have one he gave me over a decade ago (which was given to him by his grampa). Fountain pens forever!

I think Katita Windup is pretty fun and they come in other designs too like Awika! and Cosmojetz

These are the things I use daily:

• Hagoromo,
  
• Nice Paper (I've become rather fond of the Moleskine notebooks),
  
• Scrap paper (for computational nonsense),
  
• .5mm pencil (I like the Zebra mechanicals--cheap, durable),
  
• A decent eraser (usually a Staedtler),
  
• Coffee,
  
• Tobacco,
  
• Beer.
  
  Absent any one, I think it unlikely that I would function properly.

My kid goes through sidewalk chalk like lightning, even when we catch it before its gets left out in the rain. I've found that either this or this are the best prices.

YESSSS. I just bought chalkboard markers for our engagement photo "save the date" prop, and they rule. I can't say how they work on chalkboard paint as I had an actual chalkboard but I really can't see why they wouldn't work. These are the ones we bought

And as someone else said, mine showed up on anything... not just chalkboard. Make sure you shake and press repeatedly until the "ink" comes out. They don't just start working straight from the box. You have to press the ink into the tip.

I use chalk pens to write straight onto the bottle. They are quick and easy to use, and wash off easily too.

You can still use the chalkboard, but use a liquid chalk pen. They look cleaner than regular chalk and you can do nice designs with them

Best chalk in the world.

Looks like Hagoromo makes their own chalk holder. The price is pretty steep though. Can anyone here vouch for it? I've been wanting to pick this up but the price seems high unless it's a high quality product.

Yah libgen and save your money to buy wicked fancy chalk

It's softer, whiter, doesn't squeak, often has a wax coating so that your hands don't get chalky, and is twice or more the diameter of chalk you see in the US. I use these (and their color version). If you use a chalkboard a lot it's well worth the investment.

Oh sorry! It's like 5th down when you search Hagoromo Chalk: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003FGJZJS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ld0YCb2TFHE7A

How about this though?

sejongmall, you can buy it from them on amazon!

Chalk holders are a thing.

Then again Ah that Canadian dollar.

Get the Japanese chalk. http://www.amazon.com/Hagoromo-Fulltouch-White-Chalk-72pcs/dp/B007R76ND2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370560038&sr=8-1&keywords=hagoromo+chalk

There's still some dust, but it's much less.

Having been forced to use chalk boards to teach my discussion sections, the Crayola chalk is absolute garbage anyway. It's like trying to spread cold butter over your toast while it shrieks in agony.

I will vouch for these bad boys any day. The Prang chalk is like a stick of stardust and dreams that glides across the board. 7/7 would recommend.

I am located in the US so it is US pricing. This is one of the sets I have that's $15.

$85 seems insane
